The "Top Shag" Mug

Nothing says "I appreciate you" quite like a mug that proudly declares your, ahem, satisfaction with the relationship. This cheeky number is perfect for couples who don't take themselves too seriously. Pop this in his hands on Valentine's morning, and watch him nearly choke on his cornflakes. It's romantic, it's hilarious, and it's definitely going to end up as his favourite mug.

The Corny Jokes Mug

Is your other half the kind of bloke who thinks he's absolutely hilarious? Does he inflict terrible puns on you at every opportunity? Then this one's a match made in heaven. The Corny Funny Jokes Mug leans right into that dad-joke energy, making it brilliant for the man who loves a good groan-worthy gag. It's like giving him permission to keep being his wonderfully daft self.

The "I Love You A Hole Lot" Mug

Picture this: a mug featuring a cat's, shall we say, rear end, paired with a pun that's equal parts sweet and ridiculous. If that doesn't sum up your relationship, what does? This one's for couples who find humour in the slightly absurd. It's cute, it's crude, and it's utterly brilliant.

A Quick History of Valentine's Day (Because Knowledge is Sexy)

Before you go thinking Valentine's Day is just a modern cash-grab invented by card companies, let's have a proper look at where it all started. Spoiler alert: it's way more interesting than you'd expect.

According to History.com, the origins of Valentine's Day trace back to ancient Rome. The festival of Lupercalia, held in mid-February, was a bit of a wild celebration of fertility and the coming of spring. We're talking animal sacrifices and blokes running about slapping women with goat hides. Romantic? Not exactly by today's standards.

The day gets its name from Saint Valentine, a Christian martyr from the third century. The legends vary, some say he was executed for secretly marrying soldiers who were forbidden to wed, others claim he sent the first "valentine" greeting from prison. Either way, the chap clearly had a thing for love.

By the Middle Ages, Valentine's Day had evolved into something more recognisable. Geoffrey Chaucer and his mates started linking the day with romantic love, and the tradition of exchanging handwritten notes took off. Fast forward to today, and we're buying mugs with cat bums on them. Progress, innit?

The point is, Valentine's Day has always been about celebrating connection: whether that's through ancient rituals, poetry, or a well-chosen novelty mug that makes your partner laugh.

How to Choose the Perfect Valentine's Mug

Not sure which direction to go? Here's a quick guide to nailing it:

Consider his humour. Is he into subtle wit or full-on belly laughs? Match the mug to his comedy style.

Think about his interests. If he's into fishing, golf, or football, you might want to check out our wider mugs collection for something that combines romance with his hobbies.

Go for quality. A proper ceramic mug that'll last is way better than some flimsy thing that chips after two washes.

Make it personal. The best gifts show you've put thought in. A mug that references an inside joke or shared memory? Chef's kiss.
